We were very sad to hear that Jack Rose died on the morning of December 5, 2009 from an apparent heart attack. His Performance at November’s Willkommen night was legendary and Sons of Noel and Adrian were fortunate enough to play with him in Bristol a couple of days later.
A posthumous release of his final recordings for the Thrill Jockey label is anticipated. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends.
Many thanks to Guy Garvey for playing two Willkommen tracks on his BBC 6music show – Kernow by Sons of Noel and Adrian and Uncommon by The Climbers. You can still download The Climbers track free from here.
